Hedvig Raa-Winterhjelm, née Charlotta Forssman (20 November 1838 – 7 March 1907), was a Swedish actor active in Sweden, Norway and Finland. She played a pioneer role in Finland by introducing the Finnish language as a stage language, becoming the first actor in Finland to speak her lines in the Finnish tongue.〔Österberg, Carin et al., Svenska kvinnor: föregångare, nyskapare (Swedish women:Predecessors, pioneers) Lund: Signum 1990. (ISBN 91-87896-03-6)〕 ==Early career== Hedvig Raa-Winterhjelm was born as the daughter of a goldsmith in Stockholm in Sweden under the name Charlotte Forssman. She studied at the ''Dramatens elevskola'' in Stockholm in 1854–56, after which she toured in travelling theater companies in Sweden and Finland. In 1860, she was employed at the ''Mindre teatern'' in Stockholm. In 1863, Mindre teatern was taken over by the Royal Dramatic Theatre. Many of the actors was given a contract in the new theatre. The competition with Sweden's leading lady Elise Hwasser made her leave for a position at the theater in Gothenburg, where she was engaged until she left Sweden for a position at the Swedish Theatre in Helsinki in 1866. The Swedish Theatre in Helsinki was the first permanent theater in the city: inaugurated in 1860, it had burned down in 1863 and was reopened in 1866, when Raa-Winterhjelm was employed there. The theater became the first national stage in Finland, and Hedvig Raa-Winterhjelm became its lead actress within romantic tragedy between 1866 and 1872. In 1866, she married her colleague, the actor Fritiof Raa (1840-1872). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hedvig Raa-Winterhjelm」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
